Use Beams from React Bits (https://reactbits.dev/backgrounds/beams, MIT + Commons Clause: OK in a video, but the code itself can't be resold). Install with `npx shadcn@latest add @react-bits/Beams-JS-CSS` and run it full-frame behind product names or quotes for a moody studio-light look. Set color, beamWidth, rotation (the angle of the bars), speed, brightness and grain. The loop adds dt to an internal clock: patch it to frame / fps * speed, set mouseInteraction={false}, and set intro={false} or drive the intro from the timeline.
